[pmwiki-users] How to check for missing link targets?

Hi
As an aside, I'm using a separate file manager (called IPFM [1]) to let
the user's to manage files. To keep things simple, they have to refer to
uploaded files using the prefix 'uploads:' which simply maps to
uploads: = http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads
So here is how it is used:
uploads:/aFile.txt
Now to the question. I'd like the user to get some indication when the
target doesn't exist, similar to how Attach: works.
I can see two solutions:
* Some kind of special 'uploads:' directive
* A general mechanism for checking if an (possibly external) link target
actually exists.
Any thoughts on this? I might be ok to require some extra action
(perhaps action=validate-links) in order to show what targets don't exist.

PS. Thinking about it some more, the case when you're using a separate
file manager probably do require that you override 'uploads:' with some
directive that checks if the attachement exists each time the page is
shown.
